“The birth of the spring sunshine brings regeneration with the return of sunlight to nature.”

Spring Equinox at Gaia Spa Boringdon

Spring equinox has long been celebrated as a time for rebirth. The sun shines directly on the equator, and day and night are almost the same length across the world. The birth of the spring sunshine brings regeneration with the return of sunlight to nature. As the beginning of spring, the equinox brings a desire for new beginnings and rituals to welcome change, growth, revitalisation and a fresh start for yourself. A new lease of life comes with the Equinox, after winter it is the ideal time to renew.

Make the most of the seasonal transformations by implementing change and focusing on yourself.

Take up a new hobby. Something you’ve always wanted to do but never have.

Try something new, whether a new restaurant, new experience or new place. Do something that you haven’t done before.

Declutter. The term spring cleaning sums up the need to refresh, so take the same approach to all aspects of your live. Either by having that declutter at home or trying a new technique to help declutter the mind.

Plan ahead. Look at change you’d like to make and set yourself some small, achievable goals for the year ahead. Keep a diary and note your aims and when you have achieved them.

Celebrate nature. Spring is the most awe-inspiring time for nature, as spring sees the bloom and blossom of new flora, new smells and new colours. Embrace the change in the environment and go outdoors and appreciate the simplicity and beauty of nature.
